> But to be fair you said hard-right parties, and I think in this you may be right. Still, most people voted conservative/right-wing I think. Yes, I just meant the hard-right extremists, who are on a mission from God to reclaim all the lands of Israel for the Jewish people (RZP and Otzma). Or to put it this way: there are tons of possible coalitions in this kind of democracies to arrive at a majority. This: < coalition > [ex] [ centre ] [ex] Is just as much a majority as: < coalition > [ex] [ centre ] [ex] Every country has their extremists of various shapes, and they mostly get excluded from real power, or when they are excluded their influence is very limited. By and large I think that's healthy. This is also one reason almost all democracies have "checks and balances" in the form of supermajorities, courts, and/or bicameral system. To prevent a simple majority from pushing through changes. Remember, those "checks and balances" the Netanyahu government wanted to abolish before 7 Oct shelved those plans.
